The "missing link" was purportedly found near here in 1912, and for the next 40 years it was the object of much study by physical anthropologists from around the world.
Eventually, this great discovery was found to be nothing but practical joke.
The actual site of the "fossil discovery" was at Barkham Manor, about one mile southwest of the village.
